ECLAIRE Scenario guide

The task “Scenarios” in the ECLAIRE project served to guide ECLAIRE researchers into working on a largely harmonized dataset on future data, in order to reduce result discrepancies to model differences and maximize data coherence. Instead of developing own sets of ECLAIRE scenarios, which would have consumed resources as well as time and hampered comparability of results achieved in other projects, we attempted to provide harmonization of approaches taken by guiding the respective ECLAIRE modelling teams towards recommended data sets. Such guidance included updates throughout the project duration, aiming for data consistency throughout.

This web page reflects the contents of ECLAIRE deliverable D21.2, the final version of the "ECLAIRE scenario reference". It replaces the set for guidance of project partners throughout the project duration that had been maintained at this site previously.

This final version may be regarded version 2.0 of the scenario guidance document. It has been uploaded Oct 7, 2015. No further changes or additions are expected.
